It certainly wasn't pretty in the first half when the Jets managed only 99 yards and had four straight three-and-outs. But they wore down the Chargers with their running game and allowed Mark Sanchez to do just enough to help them win. His turnover-free streak ended but he also threw a TD pass and was otherwise smart with the ball. Shonn Greene had 128 yards on 23 carries, consecutive 100-yard games in the playoffs for the rookie who has taken over for the banged-up Thomas Jones (41 yards, 14 carries). And when Rex Ryan called on the unit to win the game on a fourth-and-1, Nick Mangold and Damien Woody cleared the way for Jones to run all the way from San Diego to Indianapolis.
